The Endeavour Mitten, new from OROS, provides a complete weather seal for days when cold digits are not an option.

Like a slim solar cocoon for your hands, it absolutely shuts down the cold. The mitten and other items in the OROS winter collection utilize space-age Solarcore—groundbreaking apparel insulation that incorporates Aerogel, the same material NASA uses to insulate space shuttles in the -455F vacuum of space. Now it can insulate you right here on Earth! 

Aerogel is the least thermal conductive solid known to humankind. Unlike down and synthetic insulation materials, Solarcore does not rely on loft to retain heat. Almost to the contrary, even under compression, it still retains nearly the same insulation capabilities.

As a result, the Endeavour Mitten—with 2mm of Solarcore—is anything but bulky. It’s also ultra-light, breathable, wind-resistant and features 4-way stretch. We haven’t had a chance to test them in really cold weather yet but our initial reaction is that the Endeavour is at least as warm as a goosedown ski mitt, and far less bulky. And the internal separate fingers mean more dexterity than your average mitt.

OROS founders Michael and Rithvik met as a pair of science geeks in college. While on a climbing trip in the Alps, Michael had trouble staying warm despite being puffed up with layers of insulation. There had to be a better way to enjoy the adventure. OROS started with an Astronaut Scholarship and an idea. Why not leverage the Aerogel technology used by NASA to protect against extreme environments here on Earth? They took the scientific method and a lot of iterations to develop the world’s greatest Aerogel outerwear.

@jamiemocrazy’s traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurred on her second competition run in slopestyle skiing at the finals of the World Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler in April, 2015.
Reel Rock 16 is coming to #Squamish! There are two showings 👉 May 20th and June 1st at the Eagle Eye Theatre, Howe Sound Secondary School, in beautiful Squamish supported by @climbonsquamish! #Linkinbio to get your tickets! #climbing #film #filmfest #climbers #adventure #climbon #adventure #squamishbc #tickets
Finding that picture perfect moment with @sweenyj #mountainlifer
The winter that just keeps on given-er! 🤘#mountainlifer
FRIDAY FLICK 💥 This past March, speed mountaineer Benedikt Böhm @benediktboehm rocked a five-hour sea-to-summit expedition up Mount Parnassus in central Greece. Starting at sea level on his road bike at the village of Itea on the Gulf of Corinth, he climbed up to an altitude of 2.414 metres. #linkinbio to watch the film!
I had no idea what to expect from this trip, neither from bikepacking, a fancy term for cycle touring and a sport I’d never done before, nor from Kyrgyzstan, a country most people cannot find on a map. Carl, who I’d only just met recently after moving to Canada—I’d flagged him down after backcountry skiing after seeing his Montana license plate—had invited me on this trip while on a mountain bike ride. I said no. A few weeks later I figured, “Why not?”
The @rab.equipment  dynamic Cirrus Flex is a soft, lightweight hybrid synthetic insulation for mountain-friendly layering. Keeping you warm and perfectly suited to journey in the mountains. #TheMountainPeople #WeAreRab
"@normhann and I lashed paddleboards to the roof of his truck and headed north along the Island Highway, towards Telegraph Cove. Norm had invited me to tag along on a commercial paddleboard group he would be guiding in the Broughton Archipelago. Despite a long history of SUP expeditions, I harboured some reservations."
To date, more than 6,000 people have summitted Everest, the highest point on Earth at 8,848.86 metres of elevation above sea level. And only a tiny handful of those climbers have been Black.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the rad moms out there! Here’s our Art Director & Head Designer @calypsodesign getting cozy with some sharks. #mountainlifer #mothersday
